The famous Seinfeld episode where Frank Costanza shares his made up holiday known as Festivus is probably most of the most well known and talked about, especially during the holiday season. If you have a fellow fan of the show about nothing or are just looking for an alternative way to share in the holiday spare, consider throwing a Festivus party using these free Festivus party printables and the ideas shared in this post!

This Festivus party was styled using a few of their basic party items and free printable materials.
Like any good party, you must start with an invitation! I did find that punchbowl offers a Festivus themed digital design you can use or for those who like to send snail mail, I designed this Festivus Party invite you can print and pass out. Traditionally Festivus was held on December 23rd so you still have time to send one out!
While there is no traditional color palette for this made up holiday based on the Strike episode, I kept the red and green colors of the season in my decor.
This printable “Happy Festivus for the Rest of Us” banner can easily be added to your party backdrop with the help of command hooks.
It, like many other parts of this styled party, include other famous Seinfeld references, like the “yada yada yada” print in the backdrop.
Create your own photo props using my free printables! I glued these to recycled cardstock (cereal boxes) and added them to skewers!
Illustrated pictures of the famous Seinfeld characters, include Frank and Estelle, hosts of the original Festivus dinner make great framed backdrop pieces like you’re in their home! (Sorry but these are NOT available for download as the site that created them is no longer live.)
For mealtime, you can stick to the original bland and weird Festivus dinner meal consisting of meatloaf, mashed potatoes and peas, or you can bring in some Seinfeld references with some soup (no soup for you!), Junior Mints, king sized Snickers bars (serve with a knife and fork), big salad, black and white bakery cookies, Fried Chicken, muffin tops (top of the muffin!) or marbled rye.
Use some of those sweets as a party favor or gift friends a flask, much like the one George’s boss drinks from at the dinner.
These “Happy Festivus” tags are available to download for free to complete your Festivus party decor!

Is there a link to download the Seinfeld character portraits?

I’m sorry but they are no longer available as the website I designed this party for is no longer active. I didn’t design those.
